The Tehachapi News 
Margaret Salmon Brown
April 17, 1922 – Jan. 19, 2005

Margaret Brown, 82, passed away Jan. 19 in her home after a long battle with 
cancer. 

Margaret was born on April 17, 1922 in Sparks, Okla. In her younger years she 
lived in Pond, on the outskirts of McFarland on a farm. She then moved into 
the town of McFarland.

She moved to Tehachapi where she met and married Thomas Brown in 1955. She 
worked in the fields at Jacobsen Ranch and later owned Helen’s Café at the 
east end of Tehachapi Boulevard. In the 1960s, she also owned and ran the 
Monolith Café for a short while.

She and Tom owned the Mobil gas station that was located on the corner of 
Robinson Street and Tehachapi Boulevard. They sold the station due to Tom’s 
health problems and moved to Bakersfield, where Margaret worked as a nurse’s 
aid at Memorial Hospital for 15 years until she retired.

Tom passed away in 1974 and Margaret then returned to Tehachapi to be closer 
to her mother, Carrie Salmon, who passed away in 2000 at the age of 99.

She gave years of memories, hearts full of laughter and left behind “gobs” of 
love. She will be deeply missed. 

Margaret is survived by a son, Louie Hobbs and his wife Darla; brother, Jimmy 
Salmon and his wife Charlene; grandchildren Leslie and Curtis Nelson, Lori and 
Prentice Woodard, Lynette Hobbs, Marcus and Christy White, and Wendy and 
Matthew Walker; great-grandchildren Nathan, Jamie, Jennie, Tyler, Carrie, 
Jessie, Charlcie, Clarice, Austin, Cassieta, Colton and Jonathon. She also 
left behind her very special friends Coy Blair, Mary Vickery and Donna McGehee.

There will be no services. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a 
donation be made in her memory to the American Cancer Society, Bakersfield 
Division, 1523 California Ave., Bakersfield, CA 93304.
